Photography DashFrequently Asked Questions

Do I need an expensive DSLR camera?

Will I be able to access the material if I cancel the course?

Yep. I’ll email you each day’s resources, and post them to our private community. You will continue to have access to the Dash topic course material after the course ends.

How will I receive the material?

I’ll email your lessons and photo challenges twice a week, and you’ll be part of a private community where you can share your images and stories with other participants.

Can I use a tablet or phone?

Yes, you can use either to both access the materials and take photos (although you’ll get better results using a dedicated camera rather than the camera on your phone).

I don’t know much about my camera. Is this for me?

Absolutely! In fact, this is especially for you. Each lesson takes you step by step through everything you need to know. I've designed the course specifically with sections applicable for beginner, intermediate and advanced photographers.

Do I need to have an image editing program?

I can’t share my photos. They won’t be good enough.

I encourage you to share your creations with other participants, even if you don’t think they are very good. No one is there to judge, and you won’t be laughed out of the course. Chances are your images will be better than you think they are, and the feedback you receive will be incredibly valuable for improving your skills.

Do I need to be online at a specific time for the classes?

There are no online classes or streaming times. I send you links to tutorials twice a week, so you can read and practice at a time that suits you.

I don’t live in the USA. Will that be a problem for participation?

Not at all. All content is sent at the same time twice a week – around 2pm Australian Eastern time, which is early morning London time, and around midnight in New York. You’ll have a week to complete each assignment. I also won’t be closing off the galleries for previous topics either, so you can still view images and upload your own. There’s no penalty for being late.
